Well, hopefully not too much of one. Discovered this wonderful piece of free software the other day and spent like 9 hours composing in a rush. So great. Much love.

Here is my main question, and yes it is kind of multi-faceted, or might have more than one answer i guess.

I have seen the ominous warnings about musescorehub and the .com - and I will steer well clear. However, i really want more instrumental voices, and more effects, than seem to be available.

Any recommendations on how to solve this, places to get more, how to make them work etc? I am kind of a computer moron.

Super excited to find this thing and to use the hell out of it. Hoping you good people can help.

Thanks

Every time I mess with a piano part that is in voices I end up corrupting my score. Somehow lost my work from yesterday. VERY FRUTRATING. What I want to do is delete one of the voices entirely. I assigned that 'voice' to another instrument hence I want it off the piano's score. I've tried to delete using filter selection (still have rests there which is annoying) and it got corrupted. I tried to explode and it got corrupted. Tried selecting the voice I wanted and copying it to a 'new' piano instrument and it got corrupted. What the heck am I doing wrong??????

...and in particular, do system breaks/locks in a part have any effect on scores? Feels like a dumb question since they obviously shouldn't but I'm scared to take chances with an important assignment lol

Hello everyone. I am currently writing a piece for orchestra and choir. As I am from the orchestral and instrumental world, I have limited knowledge of how choir notes looks and what is preferred by singers. Do you have any general tips I can bear in mind when writing their parts? I am talking about simple stuff like "Text not being too small" or "Keep a readable distance between words". The tips does not have to be specific, but just any recommendations from you more experienced people would be much appreciated!

Hello,

In my conductors' score for a piece I have written the total height of all parts vary slightly from page to page, i.e the gap between the part that is the furthest down on the page and the edge of the page. I would like for each part on each page of the score to be located at the same height, if you understand me. Have any of you encountred this problem? Is there a way to fix it that you know of?

Help is much appreciated!
